"I try to champion inclusivity by being an ally."
“Inclusion allows a thriving working environment, higher employee engagement, drives innovation and better customer experience. It’s good for everyone. I try to champion inclusivity by being an ally in the workplace and support and sponsor the various chapters of the Alliance for Baxter Women, as well as leading by example. Baxter’s Business Resource Groups help raise awareness that we still have some work to do to attain gender equality, reflect on past achievements and set our next milestones to achieve our goals.”
